Oh yeah, the other reason that I included a Windows resource file was for creating a dialog box that Cygwin/XFree86 displays when you change the display settings in such a manner that Cygwin/XFree86 will no longer be able to display until you change those settings back. The dialog box pops up but it doesn't have meaningful text and I have not checked to make sure that it is popping up in all of the right places. That may take a little while longer to finish that one week. We will see.
